Ok here is what mine did:
I would be driving and usually while turning, it would sort of jerk and then feel really "loose" I could suddenly turn the steering wheel much further, but the wheels didn't necessarily turn, then it would grab again and the wheels would turn. I would jump and immediatly correct my steering. It wasn't bad at first, but it gradually got worse. I tried driving around in lower gears to keep the RPMs up to see if that fixed the problem. It sort of lessened it, but then when I slowed down to make a turn, it would happen again. I thought it may have something to do with the alignment or front end, so I had the pitman arm replaced and the front end aligned, still had problem. Took it to the dealership for a diagnostic and they said it was the EVO thing. THe mechanic was really nice and told me to take it home and have my husband fix it there. It wasn't wortht the money to pay him to do it. If what I said sounds like the same problem you are having, guess what...... I tried to explain it the best I could, but remember I am female and we are more into showing how things are broken and not so good at explaining how things are broken. Hopefully I made some sense.

I thought that I had read someplace that some type of grease packing could cause a problem like mine. Any ideas?
